Why my basic tool box gets the job done on most cameras

My old spanner wrench from the 90s has saved more projects than any generic tool. I get the simplicity angle, but telling people they only need basics for complex optics worries me. Last year, a friend tried a hex key on a Contax lens mount and stripped the threads. Some jobs do need the right tool, not just any tool. There’s a line between being resourceful and risking damage to gear that’s hard to replace.
